POLI 01 WVC Civil Rights & Abortion and the Supreme Court Discussion

 

I’m working on a political science discussion question and need support to help me study.

Describe the history of how abortion became an area of Supreme Court jurisprudence. What legal decisions and concepts were central to the case of Roe v. Wade (1973)? How is the case Grisworld v. Connecticut connected to Roe v. Wade? Which constitutional amendments are lawyers most likely to refer to when arguing in favor of the abortion right? Mention at least two amendments and explain how they can be interpreted to be applicable to the case Roe v. Wade. Summarize the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade. What are some examples of restrictions on abortion that have been upheld since the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe? Why do you think the federal government got involved in the issue of abortion?
